Can you actually date casually and feel emotionally safe, respected, and secure?
Short answer: yes. But most people out here trying to be the “cool girl” in casual dating are actually just abandoning their needs and calling it chill. Let’s clean that up. In this episode, I break down what a secure casual dynamic actually looks like and how to stop treating situationships like a slot machine that might pay out if you just stay cool enough.

You’ll learn:

  • The four key ingredients for a secure casual connection
  • How to set boundaries without sounding like you're trying to lock them down
  • What to do if you catch feelings (without spiralling or people-pleasing)
  • Why you might be secretly performing for love and how to stop
  • Exact scripts you can use to express your needs with confidence

Whether you're in your “I just want to flirt and have fun” era, or navigating a situationship that’s starting to feel off, this is the pep talk you need to come back to self and date in a way that actually feels good.

💌 Share this with a friend who’s out there trying to act casual but secretly losing her mind after every text. You know the one.
